BS3 Tuner near Vallejo, CA?

[MY3TTYPES]

Well, I'm waiting for my 86 GN to get here from Indiana. It has a stock engine with TE44 BB turbo, Big Stuff 3 engine management system and stainless exhaust. I'm concerned that it might not pass smog up here.
Any advise before I attempt to have it tested, outside standard spring cleaning?
Anyone know of a shop near here with experience tuning the Big Stuff 3 systems? I have no experience with it, YET! Any advise on reading material or places to get knowledge about tuning in general or specifcally with the BS3?
Help, I need it!
TIA

Does the car have the EGR still? What about the stock breather from the drivers side valve cover to the inlet of the turbo? They will be looking for that stuff first.

If it is using a BS3, does the car have the stock MAF sensor or is it running off of the MAP sensor?

You can tune the motor to pass smog with a BS3 but you have to have all of the stock smog devices in place or they wont pass it. That is just the visual inspection. You can tune the car to pass but I would not drive it hard at all because with a smog tune you will be leaning it out pretty well.

As I don't have the car yet, I'm not sure. I think the breather and is missing/replace with open air element. Where can I buy/borror one locally?
Also, I've never tumed a car by computer or used BS3 before. Where would I start? Obviously I would need a baseline presmog test first.
Advice? Thanks for the reply!

You will either have to find a place that won't care the car has an aftermaket ecu or swap the computer to stock for the test.
Mizzi's Auto is in Fairfield and they should be able to help you.

Congrats to Chris! If you think of anyone near who could help, I would appreciate it. I'm looking forward to being back in a GN, so delays are not an option!
Thanks
